About the series
In this three-issue series from Daedalus (2018–2020), artist Fabien Bedouel brings a stark, historical lens to the story of Joseph Darnand, a French collaborationist and paramilitary leader during World War II. The comic examines his role as the head of the Vichy regime's Milice, earning his grim epithet "the French executioner." A concise, visually driven work of historical comics, it matters as a focused portrait of a controversial figure rarely explored in the medium.
